A fun craft idea to do while the shower is to personalize baby gifts as they are opened. Of course, be sure the baby's name is set in stone before you begin this one! All you need to do these crafts is a collection of color fabric paint pens bought at any craft supply store.
For instance, when the mum opens a gift, the most artistic one in the group can decoratively write the baby's name on the side of the gift. Be sure to check with the mum and see if she is curious in this idea. This can save her time, as most gifts will need to be labeled anyway. definite gifts may not be appropriate for labeling; use your best judgment. Also, some drying time may need to be allowed.

Decorate with any appropriate baby trinkets, and be sure to stick with the theme. Who doesn't like a good laugh?

Baby shower crafts that takes a little bit of planning but makes a astounding sentimental gift is a handprint quilt. You will need to precut quilt squares to do this. pick fabric and style to match the mother's nursery décor. Make sure you have enough squares - one for each guest.
As guests arrive at the shower, have them stick their hand in paint and make a simple handprint on a singular square and sign their name. Try glitter, silver or gold fabric paint for a decorative touch. Let them dry. Then man sews together the closed project.
